To the Editor:
"I noticed an editorial In the Mall
'ribune not long since with reference
o whether or not the government
lould treat green fruit from the l-
Ifle coast as necessary food and
i-ould give it right ot way over other
reight, and realizing that this was a
cry important matter, I cut the artl
:lo from the paper and sent it to Sen-
itor Pago at Washington, asking him
vio invesugmu ino mailer ana wrue
TOie and in due time I received enclos-
1 letter from him with two other
tters attached thereto in reference
to the matter and thinking this pos-
might be of Interest to the fruit
growers of the valley, 1 tako the llu-
rty to enclose the letter to you.

Honorable C. S. Page, United States
Senate.
tMy dear Senator:
'Your favor of June 8th, inclosing

Vail Tribune regarding fresh fruit, at

"The question is not so much a
Question of deciding that fruit is food

nd especially the perishable fruit.
"I have had this matter up with the

Also presents it in a reasonably satis

ed the secretary of agriculture, with
which wrs transmitted copies of
communlcitlons from the Yakima
Valley Traffic association in regnrd to
the classification of fruit as food
stuffs for transportation purposes, has
been referred to me for attention.

jVe endorse this advice to growers.
ut the circular was so unfortunately
Rvorded as to leave the impression
ipon growers that there was a possi

hey had last year might bo with
drawn this year.
At a conference between the rep
resentatives of the department and

merly the world outside used to ac
claim them, and the people at homo
then woke up to the fact of their
worth. The university is endeavor
ing to prove that Nebraska recognizes
the genius within her borders."
"Mr. Gilder's archaeological discov

to science in determining the history
and characteristics of the primitive,
pre-hlstoric man who lived on the site
of Nebraska oven before the Indian.
